    I got a thermos thing that keeps heat in for a while and I boil water before I leave the house and put it in the diaper bag. But I always put a small nursery water bottle in my diaper bag in case the waters too hot, then I mix them together if its too hot

    I bought a small thermos too that will fit my diaper bag and I fill it up with room temp nursery water and the last 1/4 of it I put boiled water in it.

    I'm the same with only supplementing with formula here and there. What I do is carry a room temperature water bottle in my diaper bag. My little guy is ok with room temp.

    @mama2be11_4__11 lol I agree I 'used' to be like that. Amd my sister told me that they don't need there bottles warmed so I tried without and I love it better. Lol and your right middle of the night was hectic.

    I use playtex drop-ins so I just prefill my bottle with the water (we use room temp) and I use the similac travel pouches (makes 4oz). Enfamil also sells them. Both brands are only in the regular kind only (at least similac def is; I've not seen enfamil travel packs in other than their normal kind but I don't use that brand so I'm not usually looking) not the "special" ones.

    I just prep a bottle and seperate the formula based on how many feedings (she eats every 4 hours, so its usually just 1) and use warm water where ever I am. If I am going somewhere in which warm water isn't accessible, I just pack the amount of water as hot as possible and use it when I need it.

    I have a small Tupperware bowl with 3 equal compartments and the lid has a smaller poptop that u circle around over whichever compartment u want to empty. That's whether I use to store my premeasured formula in for the diaper bag. I just water whereever we are. My daughter doesn't have to have It warmed everytime so if we can't get warm water right then she's okay with room temp or even a little cool. I know warm Is easier on the tummy but the few times we've had to do cool she's seemed fine without any tummyache.

    She will only drink it if its room temp. So I just take a bottle of water and her formula with me where ever I go.

    Sophia eats the ready to feed formula, so I usually get a cup of hot water at a gas station or restaurant when we're out and heat up her bottle that way.

    My baby doesn't like her formula warm....she'll only take it a room temp. I warmed it up a while back and she wouldn't drink it.
